scope:

This Standard establishes a system of graphic symbols (hereafter referred to as "symbols") related to textile care in domestic washing (washing, bleaching, drying and ironing) and professional dry cleaning and wet cleaning (hereafter referred to as "professional textile care"). It is not applicable to industrial laundering.

It is recognized that information imparted by the domestic symbols will also be of assistance to the professional cleaner and launderer.

NOTE 1 Symbols for industrial laundering, such as those for linen supply or work clothes, can be found in ISO 30023.

NOTE 2 The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows.

ISO 3758 : 2012 Textiles - Care labelling code using symbols (MOD)

In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standards and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/lEC Guide 21-1.
